An exceptional and highly decorative pair of French Empire period four-light candelabra, dating to approximately 1815, executed in richly contrasting gilt bronze and dark patinated bronze and centered upon beautifully modeled winged figures of Victoria, the Roman goddess of Victory. Monumental in scale at approximately 30 inches high, this impressive matched pair embodies the archaeological classicism, imperial symbolism and superb bronzework that defined the finest French decorative arts of the Napoleonic and early Restoration periods. Each candelabrum is conceived as an elegant winged female figure of Victoria, modeled in dark patinated bronze and standing delicately upon a gilded spherical orb. The figures are depicted in classical drapery, their large feathered wings falling behind the body while both arms are raised overhead to support an elaborate gilt-bronze capital from which the candle branches emerge. Above each figure rises an ornate arrangement of four lights, incorporating scrolling gilt-bronze branches ornamented with classical foliate and floral motifs. The beautifully chased arms terminate in finely detailed candle cups and broad drip pans, while the elevated central stem culminates in a sculptural flame-form finial. The interplay between the dark patination of the figures and the warm gilding of the architectural and decorative elements produces the dramatic two-tone effect so closely associated with sophisticated French Empire bronzes. The winged Victoria figures are particularly striking. Their serene classical faces, tightly arranged hair, articulated feathered wings and deeply folded garments display a sculptural quality intended to evoke the art of antiquity. The use of Victory standing upon an orb was an especially appropriate symbol within Empire design, communicating triumph, power and imperial grandeur. Each candelabrum is supported upon an imposing architectural pedestal formed with a ribbed cylindrical gilt-bronze column, surmounted by a richly modeled foliate collar and raised upon a substantial stepped square plinth. Classical ornament is carried throughout the composition, creating a remarkably cohesive design from base to finial. An Important French Empire Design Tradition The design belongs to the celebrated French Empire “à la victoire” tradition of candelabra incorporating winged figures of Victory. Of particular historical interest, this family of winged-figure candelabra has been connected to a drawing attributed to the celebrated architects and designers Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine. That related design depicts an à la victoire candlestick intended for the boudoir of Empress Joséphine at Saint-Cloud, illustrating how closely this imagery was associated with the highest levels of French Empire interior decoration. These à la victoire candelabrums are in the manner associated with the workshop tradition of Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751–1843), one of the leading Parisian bronze founders and chasers of the Empire period, who was appointed Ciseleur de l’Empereur in 1809.

A pair of vintage beautiful brass candle holders with amazing patina. For ordinary (22 mm.) or large candles (50 mm.). Made by Skultuna Messingsbruk, Sweden, 1940s. Great original condition. Can be polished if you prefer that. Stamped with makers mark. Skultuna Messingsbruk, often just called Skultuna, is one of Sweden’s oldest industrial companies — in fact, one of the oldest still active manufacturers in the world. It was founded in 1607 by King Karl IX. The location for the factory was chosen carefully: it is in Skultuna, near Västerås, where the brook Svartån provides water power, there was access to raw materials (copper from the mine at Falun), and ample wood for charcoal. From the start, the foundry made things like brass plates, candlesticks, chandeliers, combining craft and design. Some early pieces are still preserved — for example, the oldest known Skultuna chandelier...
